Position switches compliant with ATEX directive for potentially explosive atmospheres

ATEX-compliant position switches are designed for use in industrial environments with risk of explosion due to the presence of gas or conductive dusts, as well as mining applications, where all sources of ignition must be prevented.

Reliability in potentially explosive atmospheres

Pizzato devices are compliant with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU covering equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and have the requisite marking, specifying group and category.

These devices are designed for areas classified in accordance with Directive 99/92/EC, meeting all minimum safety requirements for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Typical applications include chemical and petrochemical plants, pharmaceutical plants, silos, dust treatment plants, refineries and any other environments with potentially explosive atmospheres.

Compliance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and key standards

Compliance with Directive 2014/34/EU certifies that Pizzato devices are designed and undergo conformity assessment procedures in line with essential safety requirements, and are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, as indicated by CE and ATEX marking. The design process is based on the series of IEC/EN 60079 standards, which represents the international benchmark for equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres.

Use of ATEX-compliant devices also contributes to Directive 99/92/EC compliance, supporting protection of the health and safety of workers exposed to these risks.
